Friday morning...started out with the Doerfel Family and they were adorable! All these little red heads and blondies, it was great! It turns out that Tj (the oldest Doerfel) married Angelica Grim last week (congrats guys)!
Angelica came out and did a few with them towards the end of this set, touring together the last couple years certainly makes her already part of the family and the comfort level with the rest of the family made that clear.
Belle Monroe and her Brewgrass Boys came up during the hot part of the morning and were fantastic! The banjo player, Jordan Klein wailed up there and they were super friendly when I went down after their set and bought a cd.Finishing up the morning session was the BladeRunners, now featuring Patrick Sauber. I've seen them a few times, both the BladeRunners in different formations and Sauber with others as well. They only seem to get better, their voices harmonize so well!
After lunch was another set with Blue Highway, a less formal dressed situation but most definitely themed in the gospels. Up after Blue Highway was the Wilders, this was their last set of the weekend and Ike came out in this awesome grey suit and these fantastic sunglasses that reflected the crowd.
The Dan Tyminski band did another fantastic job on their next set. I'm always impressed to find out that not only do people play multiple instruments, but the do it so well! The banjo player, Ron Stewart picked up the fiddle again for another tune and rocked it for Turkey in the Straw but...sorry to say, he was overshadowed by Justin Moses who plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, and he makes that dobro sing! The stage lights hit the face of the dobro and its exuberance was not only reflected by the sweet sounds but it transcended through the senses and sparkled glints of light all over the stage.
